Recent studies have shown that one ounce of walnuts daily over a period of 2-3 months can help reduce several metabolic related problems. They also create better bone stability and less mineral loss from the bones. Available year round, there is no reason not to eat them daily. They are a great source of important omega-3 fatty acids and contain loads of antioxidants that decrease your risk of certain cancers. Some of the phytonutrients found in walnuts are not found in other common foods which make them a priority food to eat regularly to reduce inflammation and heart disease.

One ounce of nuts per day is the minimal amount needed to provide statistically significant health benefits for the human body which is why I recommend some nuts daily. Walnuts can be chopped and added to salads, fruits, desserts, and meat and vegetable dishes. They will add nutrition, crunch, and flavor to every meal. Also, it is good to include the skin since 80% of the important nutrients are included in the skin.
